"Much of what people do today disguises a desperate search for meaning, the result of the crisis of belief that has become
the West's major problem. This substantially revised edition of Ego and Soul tackles this underlying reality head-on. It examines
main areas of modern life including work, sport, intimacy, shopping, tourism, computers, and a retreat into nature to discover
what is driving people, what sense they are making of their lives. On the one hand, the elites and their high culture suffer
a loss of confidence, and aimless consumerism is widespread; on the other, powerful new myths arise, as with sporting heroes.
Ego and Soul also looks at high culture, the upper-middle-class elites and the universities, tracing why they have lost their
way, failing to provide a language that might help a new understanding. It counters this weakness by trying to speak on behalf
of the time, to make sense of its endeavours."--Provided by publisher

"Humanism built Western civilization as we know it today. Its achievements include the liberation of the individual, democracy,
universal rights, and widespread prosperity and comfort. Its ambassadors are the heroes of modern culture - Erasmus, Holbein,
Shake- speare, Velazquez, Descartes, Kant, Freud. Those who sought to contain humanism's pride within a frame of higher truth
- Luther, Calvin, Poussin, Kierkegaard - could barely interrupt its torrential progress. Those who sought to reform humanism's
tenets from within - Marx, Darwin, and Nietzsche - were tested by the success of their own prophecies. So runs the approved
view. John Carroll dissents." "With fresh readings of essential cultural texts, Carroll, one of Australia's most eminent public
intellectuals, articulates a disruptive and compelling alternative narrative of the course of Western civilization since the
Renaissance and the Reformation contrived to unleash reason, will, and superhuman desire on the world. The West's five-hundred-year
experiment with humanism has failed, he maintains, because humans ultimately need some kind of contact with a higher or metaphysical
order beyond the confines of their time-bound, mundane selves. And, Carroll concludes, if this wasn't entirely clear before
September 11, 2001, it surely is now."--Jacket

"Upending Christianitys popular notion of Jesus the comforter, the good shepherd, the Lord, and the Savior, this completely
new exploration of Mark's Life of Jesus reexamines the image presented in this earliest of the New Testament gospels - the
mysterious stranger, the singular, abandoned, and solitary figure - and rethinks the current role of Western culture through
a radically altered view of Christianity. The existential Jesus has no interest in sin, and his focus is not on an afterlife.
He is anti-church, anti-establishment, anti-family, and anti-community; a teacher, with himself his only student, he gestures
enigmatically from within his own torturous experience, inviting the reader to walk in his shoes and ask the question, Who
am I?" "This book argues that Jesus is the West's great teacher on the nature of being. Incorporating a new translation of
the Gospel of Mark from its original Greek, this radical reinterpretation identifies the philosophical and cultural significance
of Jesus in the modern world, based on his life, actions, and reflections."--BOOK JACKET

"In this essay, noted author and sociologist Dr. John Carroll argues that there is a deeper story behind the events of September
11, 2001 and their immediate aftermath. He believes that the attacks on the World Trade Center have exposed the Western world
not just to terror, but to an underlying cultural emptiness that is crippling its ability to respond adequately." "As he ranges
from the ancient Greek gods to recent American films, visiting Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness on the way, Carroll argues
that the West is in psychic disarray. What we all face now is the threat of further attacks from Usama bin Laden's al-Qaeda
global terrorist network, whose range and penetration is not well appreciated. And we do so from a suspect foundation that
we could once rely on, now leached away by a secular culture which evades self-knowledge and feeds on excess."--BOOK JACKET

Rate equations in semiconductor electronics by John E Carroll(

This book presents a novel approach to the teaching of dynamic aspects of the operation of semiconductor and opto-electronic
devices. Such dynamic aspects often determine the steady state conditions. Also, the dynamical operation of such devices is
of increasing importance as modern methods of communicating data and information require electronic devices that switch electrical
or optical signals at ever faster rates. The author discusses the rates at which electrons and holes can reach equilibrium,
the rates at which transistors and diodes can switch, and the rates at which electrons and holes can interact with photons,
and with protons. He also applies the rate equations in a unified way to models of light-emitting diodes, injection lasers
and photodiodes. Finally, the author discusses more-advanced topics on the photon statistics of injection lasers, mode-locking
and the application of rate equations and Maxwell's equations to opto-electronic devices
